Hi all, i'm getting my mom's widows tinted for her birthday. I think i'm going to go with 20%. Does anybody have a picture of a max with 20%? (preferrably the beige/gold color)
Thanks

Check the link in my sig, the front is 35% and the back is 20%. It's black tint though... I think even on a beige car black looks best.

thanks guys. I think we are going to go with the 20. 30 is the legal limit here, so we'll go a step below.

Window Tint

I don't have nay pictures, but I have the same color max as your Mom with the 35% Solar Bronze. This is the absolute best tint for this car. When the sunlight hits the windows just right the whole car looks to be the same color. Also, I love the way the reflective characteristic of the tint comes and goes depending on the angle and the light.

Maybe your mom enjoys very dark tint, but I would be surprised. 20% all around will be very dark on the front windows. I used to live in Atlanta (I think you are in Georgia) and the state law is 32% net all around. The 32% net means any window tint film + the glass must let through 32% of the light. Factory glass usually blocks some low percentage of the light, I think it's usually around 7% or less.

However, I understand your point of going a little darker than legal. You probably wouldn't have any trouble with the , but you never know. Anyway, I just wanted to warn you that putting on 20% film all the way around, plus any light blocking by the glass, will make it hard to see into the car, and possibly a little hard to see out at night. However, some people here have tint even darker, so go for what you like (or what your mom likes). Just remember that 20% tint all around will be "technically illegal".

well the place i want to go to does 35 or 20, no in betweens. i know 20 is dark. If it was my way it would be 5% but she has said she doesnt like it that dark.

Andi Baritchi had the Bronze tint on his Pebble Beige '97 SE. I believe he had it in 35%.

Pictures of his car can be found at http://www.boostaholic.com/maxima/

Good Luck with the tinting!!

-Nick

BTW, I have 20% black tint on my Deep Evergreen, and I love it!!
